The seminar analyses Munich’s importance for the history of National Socialism. Participants get to know the permanent exhibition of the Munich Documentation Center. It traces the path from the founding of the Nazi Party in 1919 through to the elaborate staging of power in Munich as the ‘capital of the movement’ during the regime phase. The seminar looks at the majority society, at structures and individuals, but also considers the repercussions for the persecuted. Furthermore participants can search for selected topics on their own at an interactive Learning Centre. Afterwards there will be a city tour to some places of particular importance for the National Socialism - the former 'Parteiviertel'. The seminar will be held in English. Please bring your own pen and writing paper.
